Looking at the 2nd Corps ‘Ssangyong Unit’ Where BTS’ V will Serve

Beloved as the “Double Dragons” by the 2nd Corps ‘Ssangyong Unit’, this border area is the most infamous military demarcation line in the army. It is well-known for both the difficult terrain and the fact that many soldiers had to endure its rigorous training routine. Also, II Corps uses Offensive Force plus GOC (Ground Operations Command).

The mission of Ground Operations Command is to defend the Military Demarcation Line from any potential dangers. Meanwhile, a forceful military action aimed at the enemy is what Offensive Force is all about.

Either fighting the enemy or convincing them to back down is their mission. The Mid-East Front, a route leading to Seoul, is also protected by the Corps.

Fans have shared their reactions and wishes to BTS V on X:

Getting to BTS’s V’s, which is located in a valley between Twin Dragons, two towering peaks, is no easy feat due to the rugged landscape. Consequently, the unit is likewise compact.

In addition, the unit led by the Rainy Days singer is positioned to provide full armed guard duties along the fences that border the north, which are equipped with many stairways. No one wants to be stationed there because the job is so difficult due to the clumsy arms and gears and the stairs.

V of BTS recently made an appearance in the music video for “Love Wins All” by IU, where his acting chops were on full display. Additionally, his solo album Layover became the second-fastest K-pop solo album to reach 1.115 billion streams on Spotify, and the fastest Korean-language album overall.
